A 21-year-old Taunton man was arrested on child pornography charges on Tuesday, according to the Tautnon Police Department.

Peter P. Brown, 21, of 56 Winter St., was arrested on Tuesday after a search was executed at his home at 3:38 p.m., police said. Police said that Brown was charged with possession of child pornography and that a computer he owned was seized as evidence.

Brown was arraigned on Wednesday in Taunton District Court and Judge Kevan Cunningham ordered him held on $1,000 bail. Several conditions came with Brown's bail, including no use of the Internet, reporting in person to probation weekly, no access to computers, no contact with persons under 16 years of age and home visits by the probation.

An automatic not guilty plea was entered on Brown's behalf. It is unclear if he has an attorney at this point.

If proven guilty, Brown could face a maximum of five years in a state prison.

According to a Taunton Police report, the charges were based on two video files found on his laptop. The police report said that the file name for one video describes the contents as showing a nine-year-old girl, and another file name describes the contents as "family fun dad teaches bro and sist abt 9, 10 kid sex incest pedophilia boy girl."

The files were allegedly kept in a folder for Frostwire, a peer-to-peer file sharing program, often used for uploading and downloading music and movies.

According to the police report, the investigation involved a State Police officer from the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, along with an officer and two detectives from the Taunton Police Department, and a sergeant from the Easton Police Department.

Taunton Police Lt. Paul Roderick said that police in unmarked cruisers were staking out the 56 Winter St. building in the morning, before executing the search warrant at Brown's apartment home during the afternoon.

A police report said that Brown was at home at the time of the search warrant execution, and that he was interviewed by officers while a trooper found the video files on the computer, confirming that they contained "depictions of young children engaged in numerous sexual acts with adults."
